Incidentally, a propos my title, I'm not suggesting that you try to bottle your own "LPG". If you input "fuel saving device" into Google, a goodly list of widgets results. Many of these refer to the application of a strong magnet clamped to the fuel line of the car. Apparently, this is something to do with ...  Read the complete review

Right, come on, own up. Are you one of the car drivers with a dead magic tree hanging from your car mirror that hasn't smelled of anything since 1989? I knew it. No, it doesn't last forever, you do have to throw it away and buy a new one. Come on now, they're only a couple of quid! I have been so bored by my morning commute ...  Read the complete review

Until recently reverse parking sensors have been exclusively for the executive car owners, and even then an expensive optional extra.

After recently changing from a hatchback vauxhall cavalier to a vauxhall omega saloon, I ...  Read the complete review

Its an air freshener in the shape of one of your favourite (or worst characters depending on your view of the very popular cartoon show, I just assumed favourite because the show is so popular, they may however not make the particular character which you feel is you favourite but they do however stock several characters from the show) simpsons ...  Read the complete review

Every car owner that doesn't have the luxury of owning a garage, or even those those of you that have a garage that tends to accumulate junk rather than housing a car overnight (me included!), should consider buying a frost protector for their car for the impending winter months. Believe me, and I'm sure that there will be many of ...  Read the complete review

If you've read any of my other ops, you'll know that I have an imported Japanese car. This is called a Toyota Crown which is the same as the Lexus LS400 here, apart from a few minor cosmetic and functional differences. This car has loads and loads of shiny little toys included as standard. For a start, everything is ...  Read the complete review

If reading this, please take it in the light hearted note that it is intended, but what is the point behind "Baby on Board" stickers? The proclaimed reason for them is road safety, but this logic has a number of flaws: 1. Anything that causes a distraction to other drivers could be thought of as counter to road saftety. ...  Read the complete review

When I bought my first brand new car, I wanted something to keep the boot nice and tidy. I saw adverts for custom designed boot liners which were cut to fit a specific model of car. Unfortunately they were about £50 which was more than I wanted to pay. Instead I bought a polypropylene liner from Halfords for about £8. Its just about the perfect ...  Read the complete review

Initially, I must admit I was surprised that I was not buying ...  Read the complete review

I don’t habitually break the speed limit, I’m a law abiding sort of chap in general and I tend to identify with people who live on suburban roads and whose children have to cross traffic to get to school. So I’m rather happier to stick to 30ish than the person on my tail would appear to be. I’m also a bit ...  Read the complete review

I've just had a free-flowing stainless steel mongoose exhaust fitted to my car, and it is amazing. Not only are the twin 4" tailpipes lovely and shiny, but so is the muffler that sits between them. The noise produced by the exhaust is outstanding compared to the stock system. Although the noise is not too intrusive during ...  Read the complete review

I live in a place ...  Read the complete review

I've just got my first set of wheels. Don't know anything about cars - mine, or anyone else's. All I know for sure is that it's red, and it's got a funny smell inside. Having been assured that the MOT, service, tax and other similar luxuries can wait, I have been racing around garages and supermarkets checking out the ...  Read the complete review

What Unipart actually say is that as long as you own your car your battery is warranted. Some time ago my UNIPART Samson battery gave up the ghost after some ...  Read the complete review

Alloy wheels are an excellent option or modification to any car. They have advantages over standard steel wheels due to their ability to hold the car.
